Can we just take a moment to appreciate how lovely our Scissor Portfolio is? Because when you've invested in beautiful scissors, they deserve somewhere equally lovely to live right?!

With room for 20 scissors, our Scissor Portfolio is perfect for keeping your collection organised, protected and ready for action.

Whether you're heading to a competition, travelling between salons, teaching, or simply like knowing all your favourite tools are safely tucked away, this is such a gorgeous bit of kit.

And, there's something very satisfying about opening it up and seeing all your scissors sitting beautifully in their place.

Practical? Absolutely
Gorgeous? We think so
An excuse to add another scissor to fill that empty space? Well… we couldn't possibly comment 😉

A little reminder that the right tools really can work miracles… even on a pumpkin 🎃

Before The Coat: questionable decisions
After The Coat: polished, beautiful edges, ready for the ring

No pumpkins were professionally groomed, and no Team Coat scissors were damaged in the making of this post… but we do stand by the transformation. 😉

A little colour, a lot of practicality 💛

Our Fruit Loop Straps and Extenders are made for groomers who want kit that works hard and looks gorgeous doing it.

Waterproof, wipeable and made from soft but strong BioThane, they’re perfect for taking you from tub to table without swapping loops or dealing with soggy, stinky straps.

And the colours are a bit lovely too.

Coconut, Guava, Grape, Custard Fruit or Blueberry - are you matching your setup, mixing your colours, or collecting them all? 👀

Friday night thoughts from Team Coat 💛

Some people unwind by watching telly.
Some people pour a glass of wine.
Some people sit there thinking about the scissor they probably don’t need… but absolutely keep going back to look at.

No judgement here. We understand completely 😉

The Coat was built for groomers who love their tools, care about the finish, and know that sometimes the right little addition to your kit can make the whole working day feel that bit better.

So whether you’re actually shopping, wish-listing, having a nosey, or just admiring from afar… we’re glad you’re here.

Happy Friday from Team Coat.

We haven’t talked about the Bronze All Rounder Curve for a few minutes… so here we are again. And let's be honest, she deserves it.

This hard-working curve was a long time in the making, and we are over the moon you love it so much.

With a gentle 30-degree curve, it’s perfect for busy groomers who want to bulk cut, shape and finish without constantly swapping scissors.

Lightweight, comfortable to hold and sturdy enough for real day-to-day grooming, it’s the kind of scissor you pick up in the morning and somehow keep reaching for all day.

A proper Bronze beauty 💛

❔How long does it take you to wash and prep a dog like this? ❔
Let me know in the comments and watch to the end to find out how long it took me 💗

Tool list below…

We talk so much about scissoring technique, but the finish you create with your scissors starts long before you ever pick them up….

For me, good prep is everything. Bathing, drying, brushing, stretching the coat and making sure every hair is sitting exactly where I want it — because the better the prep, the easier it is to create that beautiful, clean finish afterwards.

Prep takes time, but it’s time I would never skip or rush.

Tools:
@thecoatltd
•Big Pin Brush
•Cosmic Force Brush
•NoTangle Brush
•Oval Beech Wood slicker

@heinigerswitzerland Clippers and Trimmers
Opal Floral Edition
StyleMidi Trimmer

Drop your prep times below and watch to the end 💗

What style of scissor do you pick up most when grooming?

Save this post 💜

Which scissors should I pick up when…?
It’s probably one of the questions I get asked most when I’m teaching or replying to your messages at The Coat, and the answer isn’t always as simple as use this scissor for this job

Choosing my scissors is less about following rules and more about asking

What am I trying to achieve with this coat?

Do I want to remove bulk?
Create shape?
What’s the coat texture like?
Get a really clean, precise finish?
Soften something?
Or just make those final tiny tweaks?

The more experience you get, the more instinctive that decision becomes, but understanding why you’re reaching for a particular pair can make such a difference to your scissoring.

Swipe through ➡️ for how I think about choosing what to pick up.

And did you know at The Coat we offer Free scissor consultations on our website to help guide you in selecting a set that suits you and your abilities, you can find out more about this at

Coming to Groomers Market on 25th October? ✂️💛

I am so delighted to be running my seminar: Snip Happens”.

It's a practical guide to “which scissor when” - focused on scissoring, finishing and helping you understand your tools with more confidence.

Because I absolutely get that scissors choices can feel confusing. Blenders, chunkers, curves, hybrids, fish tails, finishing scissors… sometimes it is hard to know what to reach for, when to use it, and why one tool may be better than another for the finish you are trying to create.

In this session, I’ll be sharing practical, real-world guidance from my experience in the grooming salon, competition ring and judging arena, with the aim of helping you feel more confident and considered in your scissor choices.

And I’ll be bringing the gorgeous Miniature Poodle Floyd with me too.

So if you want to better understand your scissors, refine your finishing work, or simply feel more confident about what is in your kit, come and join us!

To buy your ticket for the Seminar, comment 'Floyd' and we will DM you the link!

You’ll also find us there with The Coat stand, so you can come and see the products in real life, feel the scissors in your hand, ask questions and have a proper chat.

We would love to see you there 💛

Now, does that mean every groom is calm, perfect and goes exactly to plan?

Absolutely not - we all know grooming life too well for that! But it does mean choosing tools that help make the day feel better.

- The scissor that makes finishing feel smoother
- The brush that helps with prep
- The comb that shows you exactly what still needs work
- The storage that keeps your favourites close to hand

Little things that quietly make a big difference.

That’s what we care about at The Coat - products that are useful, thoughtful and created with real grooming life in mind.

Because when your tools work with you, the whole gro#doggroomingtools
